[edigaryev]

And document which packages need to be installed on these operating systems.

Resolves #14.

@edigaryev Out of curiousity:
Does this work with wayland?

Doesn't seem so: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/linux/vd_agent/-/issues/26.

By the way, which Linux distributions ship with Wayland enabled by default?

Fedora with KDE uses Wayland by default and pretty sure Ubuntu 21 and above does it as well.

@edigaryev Any plans to fork/contribute vd_agent for shipping a binaries as it was done in softnet?

Seems like https://wayland.app/protocols/ext-data-control-v1 is what some people/solutions use to enable clipboard sharing.

We've implemented this functionality in Tart Guest Agent, which now contains a lightweight SPICE vdagent protocol implementation that supports cliboard sharing only.

This agent is now present in all non-vanilla Cirrus Labs macOS VM images, and after a week or so (once the new version gets baked-in) the clipboard sharing should start working on most of Cirrus Labs macOS images out-of-the box.
